I don't follow league too much, but how many of Samoa are kiwi born like their union brethren?

I don't either, so @mariner4life is about to come in here and tell me to fuck off
But I suspect a few of the Samoan blokes are Aussie-based, if not -born.

International league is a poach-a-thon. It used to be easy, if you were brown you played for the kiwis, no matter the link.
Then the islands became a viable option, so heritage got really blurred.
Kiwis. Samoans. Tongans. Unless they are warriors juniors they are all Australian developed.And we can't whinge. We've had a lot of "my dad was from NZ" over the years

There is a guy from a Subbies club here in Sydney. Anglo surname, white as fuck.
Playing an "international" for Chile v Malta tomorrow.
I reckon the Malta team would have far more Maltese in it - Borg, Camilleri, Farrugia, Zammit, Galea - they're fucking everywhere!

Trying to learn from their mistakes, from letting Ivan walk because they wouldn't give him a long term deal

Great game and an awesome win to the Kiwiferns!
-
Great atmosphere here at AAMi. Not quite Mt Smart, but plenty of Kiwis

Leo Thompson leading the Kiwis' haka.
I find it interesting that the newbie is leading the haka. Would be like if Tamaiti Williams led it in his first text.
-
Kiwi’s on their heels in defence.
Poor exit (hopefully that’s the last time I write that in the next 12 hours)
-
We are playing poorly. Look a bit disorganised in attack. Aussie ball runners are hitting the line with some venom
-
Sweet move by Jerome.
In rugby that would be a YC too I reckon. Blatant after the kick take down. Poor organisation by the Aussies in defence there.
